Review Summary

Produced by Columbia Pictures, The Tigress is set in Spain, where a band of gypsies help themselves to the livestock on a lavish estate. The villain murders the head gypsy then places the blame on the master of the estate, Jack Holt. The gypsy's chieftain's daughter Dorothy Revier vows revenge, but before she can sneak into Holt's room to do him dirt, she is rendered unconscious in an accident. Revier is brought into Holt's home for recuperation, whereupon Holt, discovering Revier's true intent, poses as his own valet, not out of cowardice but in hopes that the girl will fall in love with him. Jack Holt's later vehicles for Columbia weren't a whole lot more believable than The Tigress. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
